New Artist Spotlight – Liz Loughrey

Earlier this week, Liz Loughrey wowed us with her cover of Jessie J’s ‘Who You Are’ and now we’ve got an exclusive interview for you to find out more about this rising Canadian star who is set to be Canada’s biggest export to the States since Justin Bieber.

At 15, Loughrey’s confidence and ability exceed that of most people twice her age. In 2010, Loughrey found herself sharing the stage with Marianas Trench, one of Canada’s most successful bands. After submitting a video to a competition organized by the band, Liz was chosen to perform “Good To You” with the band’s lead singer Josh Ramsey in front of a sold out crowd of thousands at Toronto’s Direct Energy Centre. Following her performance, fans of Marianas Trench quickly spread the word online about Loughrey’s incredible vocal ability through social networks like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, helping to establish a firm fan base for the budding young star.

Exclusive Interview with The Morning Of

These days, it’s rare when a band comes along and gets us so excited that we can’t be tamed like Miley Cyrus on a stripper pole. We recently got a chance to check out indie pop/rock band The Morning Of while we were down in San Diego. The band was on tour in support of The Dangerous Summer, but they were also promoting their own album The Way I Fell In.

It didn’t take long for us fall in love with their sound on the new album. Upbeat, energetic, and musical are the first words that come to mind when describing The Morning Of. The first comparison that came to mind was The Rocket Summer. One unique aspect of the band are the two lead singers, Justin and Jessica. Not only do that have strong voices, but they’ve got great chemistry as well.

*Exclusive* What Happened?! All-4-One Opens For YouTube Star

All-4-One has reunited for a comeback and just released their new album No Regrets. It’s been years since we’ve heard anything from them, so, for those of you who may not know anything at all about All-4-One, the group won a Grammy for their chart topping single ‘I Swear’.

After all these years, we spotted the group performing as the opening act for YouTube star Marié Digby! And we asked ourselves, “What Happened?!”

The guys performed 4 songs during their set including ‘I Swear’ and ‘I Can Love You Like That’. They sounded pretty good, but their moves were definitely rusty and they’ve packed on the pounds.

Check out our videos from the show to see for yourself –

Lady Gaga’s VMA Secrets

Lady Gaga is revealing the details on her upcoming MTV VMA performance in an exclusive interview with Newsweek Magazine.

Here’s what she’s got up her sleeve –

On her outfit:
I would say that the fashion for the performance is a representation of the most stoic and memorable martyrs of fame in history. It’s intended to be an iconic image that represents people. I think after watching the performance and maybe studying it after you watch it on YouTube, you’ll see the references and the symbols come through.

On watching herself:
I like to watch my performances sometimes. I’m always trying to improve on choreography and the stage shows. I like to watch the lighting. I often argue with my lighting designer on the show; as much as I like to light the show for the room, it’s important to light the show and design the sound for YouTube. In truth, lots of my fans can’t make it to my shows in Israel or Germany or in Paris, so they go online to watch them.

On lighting:
I like it to be moody. I like it to evoke an idea more than light my face. It’s not about what you see. It’s about what you don’t see, and sometimes that vacant space can be very scary.

Sounds like it’s going to be incredible!
